Happy December 1st! We are officially less than 25 days away from the most wonderful day of the year now! Besides my birthday 😉

One of my favorite holiday activities is to watch Christmas movies. I will admit, I’m a sucker for cheesy Hallmark movies. As predictable as they are, it’s nice to watch a cute movie with a happy ending every now and then! And with all the crazy things happening in this world, Hallmark movies definitely can help increase the level of positivity. Especially during Christmastime!

Every Hallmark movie has also the same type of girl, although their personalities are slightly different in every movie. They all have successful jobs, have a love for Christmas, have amazing hairstyles, and of course, own the most stylish wardrobes! For this season, Hallmark has influenced me to embrace Christmas the same way as those other girls. My favorite holiday dress right now is this beautiful red lace short dress from Altar’d State. It totally reminds me of a dress that one off the Hallmark leading ladies would wear. It’s so stunning, elegant, and bold. Red is my favorite color and perfect for this time of year. I’ve already gotten so many compliments from wearing this!

Altar’d State is my favorite retailer to shop from at the moment. It’s like an upgraded Christian version of Francesca’s (which is also another favorite of mine). They have the cutest collections of outfits, jewelry pieces, and home decor as well. It’s a bit expensive, but practically every item is worth the purchase. The best part is that a portion of sales get donated to local communities on Mondays. Stand out for good!

By the way, this post is NOT sponsored. I just love Altar’d State so much. But someday I would definitely love to collaborate with them if I get the opportunity!
